  Error Message
  WSTRN071: Allocation table type is missing
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system expects an allocation table type to be defined or assigned but cannot find it. Allocation table types are used in SAP to define the structure or type of allocation tables, which are often involved in data distribution, settlement, or allocation processes.
  Common scenarios where this error might appear include:
  
  Missing or incorrectly configured allocation table type in customizing.
  The allocation table type has not been assigned to a particular process or object.
  The allocation table type master data is incomplete or not maintained.
  A program or transaction is trying to access an allocation table type that does not exist or is not active.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error WSTRN071, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Allocation Table Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant IMG activity where allocation table types are maintained.
  For example, in SAP Logistics or Controlling, allocation table types might be maintained under:
  
  SPRO ? Controlling ? Cost Center Accounting ? Planning ? Allocation ? Define Allocation Table Types
  
  
  Verify that the allocation table type required by your process exists and is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Assign Allocation Table Type:
  
  Ensure that the allocation table type is assigned to the relevant object or process.
  For example, if you are working with settlement rules or distribution cycles, check that the allocation table type is assigned in the settlement or distribution configuration.
  
  
  
  Maintain Master Data:
  
  If the allocation table type is missing in master data, create or maintain it accordingly.
  Check if the allocation table type is active and valid for the current client and controlling area.
  
  
  
  Check Program or Transaction Parameters:
  
  If the error occurs during a program run or transaction, verify the input parameters.
  Make sure the allocation table type parameter is correctly entered and corresponds to an existing allocation table type.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If this error appears after a transport or system upgrade, check if the allocation table types were transported correctly.
  Re-import or correct the transport if necessary.
